What is the difference between turmeric and curcumin?
You may have heard “turmeric” and “curcumin” used interchangeably, but the difference is impactful. Curcumin, a type of curcuminoid, is an active compound found in turmeric root responsible for many of its great health benefits. Curcuminoids are potent antioxidants. However, curcumin only makes up about 2% of the turmeric root, which is why a standardized and bioavailable curcumin source is critical in maximizing its amazing benefits.†
